Through a combination of genetic and psychological testing, researchers have identified factors that mitigate against PTSD. In combat, soldiers who avoided threats were more likely to develop PTSD as a result of traumatic experiences, the study found.
A new study suggests carriers of a genetic mutation in the serotonin 2B receptor may be protected from obesity and insulin resistance.
A new 'brain on a chip' study reveals the physical and biological mechanisms behind how the brain develops its folds.
Genetic cues and communication between neurons and progenitors influence the development o the cerebral cortex, a new study reports.
Findings could help in the development of treatments to prevent brain inflammation associated with Alzheimer's disease.
Contradicting previous studies, UC Boulder researchers report there is no clear evidence of any candidate gene associated with depression.
Researchers reveal a neurotransmitter implicated in the itch sensation plays no role in the transmission of pain sensations.
Study reveals the disruptions in prenatal neurogenesis can increase the risk of autism spectrum disorder. Findings also reveal estrogen can protect against the disruption of neurogenesis and steer the embryonic brain on the course of normal development.
Gene activity in immune cells is altered as a result of chronic stress for women who live in areas high in violence and poverty.
Using neurons created from iPS cells derived from people with ALS, researchers develop a new drug which appears to halt the impact of the genetic mutations in some forms of ALS and dementia.
The SERPINA5 was strongly correlated with tau tangle progression in the hippocampus and cortex.
